ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 1 -- United States Patent no. 12,724,316, issued on Sept. 1, was assigned to UNIVERSITAET WIEN (Vienna).

"Quantum optical memristor" was invented by Michele Spagnolo (Vienna), Francesco Massa (Vienna) and Philip Walther (Maria Enzersdorf, Austria).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A quantum optical memristor for manipulating photon quantum states includes a Mach-Zehnder interferometer having a first optical input and a first optical output and a second optical output. The first optical input and the first optical output of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer are a first optical input and a first optical output of the quantum optical memristor respectively. A detector is configu...
